Sure, you can put a SIM card in. Beng under contract has no bearing on that. In fact, as long as it is under contract, you won't be able to get it unlocked.

I'm not understanding that question. How does putting a SIM card into the phone make your bill cheaper? It kind of sounds like you are considering buying an iPhone from someone but they've told you their phone is still under contract. Presuming it is an ATT iPhone and they don't report the phone as lost or stolen, yes it will work when you put your ATT sim into it.

Yes the ATT sim will work unless the phone has been blacklisted. How is it possible for the phone to be under contract but not have service? Having service is what the contract is for. If you cancel service, you get charged a termination fee but that pays off the contract. However,if your service got cut off for non-payment, your phone may be blacklisted in which case a prepaid SIM card might not work.

I just want to add to this that the SIM card needs to be on an active phone line, putting in any random SIM card found lying around that has not been activated will not make the phone work. Otherwise @sandblaster has pretty much covered it.
